She graduated from nursing school and served as an Army nurse during World War II.

She was married to William J. Eddy XII, and together they had two children.

Barbara was a very hard worker and had many talents. She worked alongside her husband to create 13 successful businesses.

She traveled the world and moved many times, living in Ironwood, Mich.; Rhinelander, Wis.; South Burlington, Vt.; Apalachin, N.Y.; Homer, N.Y.; Rutland, Vt.; Wysox, Pa.; Manchester, Pa.; and in 1973, St. Augustine.

She was a founding member of the Shores United Methodist Church.

She had a strong sense of equanimity and had a great deal of respect for others. She laughed when told a good joke, and told some of her own. At 91, her body was worn out and she moved onto the next grandeur chapter of existence.

Survivors include her son, William J. Eddy XIII; grandchildren: Wayne Stiles, Mindi Beth Stiles Pinto, Heather Sickmon McLendon; and nine great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her husband William J. Eddy XII, and a daughter, Patricia Sickmon.
